Wouldn't rate this moderate. It is neat you actually hike up the side of the falls to get to the next tier (great experience) but at times you have to climb up a sheer dirt wall grabbing rocks and roots to help you up, but these falls are worth the climb. Took the red (falls trail) out to the blue (wet land) which ran into the blue (gorge trail). Beautiful day and great and challenging hike love these kinds.
